2. | Line cookie 2 cookie sheets with Parchment Paper |
3. | In a large bowl whisk oil , apple juice and spices. |
4. | Combine the Porridge Oats & Ancient grains with the seed and nuts. Set aside the dried fruit till after baking. This will eliminate the problem of drying out the fruit. |
5. | Combine dry ingredients with the wet, tossing to coat the grains. |
6. | Dump the mixture into the rimmed baking sheets and spread it out to the edges. It will come up to the edges of the pan. Spreading thin will make the mixture crunchy. If you want a chewy granola, spread and pile on one cookie sheet only. |

8. | Remove from the oven and let it sit without stirring for 10 minutes (this will help it form larger clumps) then give it a stir and let it sit until completely cool. |
9. | Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. |
